Check-out/Check-in

Check-out and check-in refer to reserving, or locking, a privileged account for a user's exclusive usage for a finite period. Typically, a password rotation occurs upon check-in, releasing the exclusive lock. This process can happen:

  • At the end of the checkout duration
  • Manually
  • When the session is closed in Remote Desktop Manager, configurable through a user preference option

With just-in-time (JIT) access, the group or role memberships of privileged accounts are modified upon check-out and restored to their initial state upon check-in.
